That job was taken over two years ago by the Air Youth of America, of which Winthrop Rockefeller is chairman, The program was launched after the late Frank Hawkes, the raeing pilot, told Rockefeller of the need for such an’ organization.

Since then Air Youth of America has developed model building instructors, prepared a wide variety of literature for students, and conducted a campaign to have schools put the Three R’s of aviation in the curriculum.
